126MB download over MTN South Africa network. Really?

Palm provides updates to its OS over the air to the Palm Pre. The latest version 1.3.1 is now available to European models, including mine which was imported from Germany. The update is 126MB large so may be a challenge for the local mobile phone network. Will see how it goes.

Is this the first Pre in Africa?

I bought O2 German-version GSM Palm Pre a couple of weeks ago from my trusty importer and on-line cellphone retailer Ca-Cellular www.cacell.co.za. The keyboard layout is qwertz not qwerty, but I have been following the Palm Pre’s journey with interest for a long time so wasn’t going to be put off by one misplaced key. Been a Palm fan since way back; still take my Treo 650 out of its box from time to time; and have high hopes of WebOS and the Palm Pre/Pixi.

Have been using the Pre for a couple of weeks now, and have mixed feelings about it. More about that later, but I was just wondering if my Pre could be the first one in use in Africa? Wonder how I could find out.
